[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi]IBK Industrial Bank is conducting non-face-to-face (untact) training for 250 new employees hired in the first half of the year.

According to IBK Industrial Bank on the 6th, the new employee training started on the 3rd and will continue for a total of 6 weeks until the 10th of next month. For the first 4 weeks, the training is conducted entirely untact, where new employees learn the theory necessary for banking practice through real-time online education programs. During the online education period, special programs such as online physical activities and virtual company dinners are also planned.

The last 2 weeks consist of offline training. New employees are dispersed to branches and receive intensive practical training for 2 weeks by having senior employees working at the branches as mentors.

Despite companies recently facing difficulties in large-scale hiring and training due to COVID-19, the bank stated that this is a new attempt to strengthen the work capabilities of new employees as usual.

An IBK Industrial Bank official said, “To overcome the drawbacks of non-face-to-face education, we plan to try various online programs,” adding, “We will continue to strive to enhance employee capabilities along with expanding youth employment.”
